Asking for help
We welcome usage questions and bug reports from all users, even those who arenew to using the project. There are a few things you can do to improve thelikelihood of quickly getting a good answer.
- Ask questions in the right place: We strongly prefer the useof Stack Overflow or GitHub issues over Gitter chat. GitHub andStack Overflow are more easily searchable by future users, and therefore is moreefficient for everyone’s time. Gitter chat is strictly reserved fordeveloper and community discussion.
If you have a general question about how something should work orwant best practices then use Stack Overflow. If you think you have found abug then use GitHub
Ask only in one place: Please restrict yourself to posting yourquestion in only one place (likely Stack Overflow or GitHub) and don’t postin both
Create a minimal example: It is ideal to create minimal, complete,verifiable examples. Thissignificantly reduces the time that answerers spend understanding yoursituation, resulting in higher quality answers more quickly.
